Chapter 55: Dragon Spirit Kingdom’s Merchant, Winter!

Lin Chen smoothly entered the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.
He had entered through the checkpoint.
Although the border between the two countries was very long, it was unknown if it was intentional or a coincidence.
In short, on the long border between the two countries, there were either nests of Second Rank monsters or insurmountable mountain barriers. These checkpoints perfectly occupied every gap.
It seemed that this division of borders was premeditated and had been prepared long ago.
After entering the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, Lin Chen put Ling Xiaoya down.
After all, it was not good to keep hugging her like this.
Lin Chen asked Ling Xiaoya to release her mount.
Lin Chen also sat on the Flying Rat and flew at a low altitude.
The two of them planned to rush back.
Sea Conqueror Province was not far from the border. In any case, they would definitely be able to rush back today.
Lin Chen could also familiarize himself with the world after the huge change on the way.
He could see that there was a main road in the vast world. Moreover, there was no lack of pedestrians on the road. For example, Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya had encountered a party.
There were guards in gorgeous clothes and uniform.
There were also many vehicles filled with goods.
It looked like a caravan.
Their speed was neither fast nor slow.
Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya followed behind the caravan casually. The other party naturally discovered the two of them and turned around from time to time. Soon, a person flew into the air and stopped. He said to the two of them, “The two of you have been following our Chengfa Trading Company. What are you planning to do?”
“This road doesn’t belong to your trading company, right? This is the official road. Are you the only ones allowed to walk on it?” Ling Xiaoya was the first to respond.
She actually knew that this road was an official road.
Lin Chen did not know this, so he revealed a puzzled gaze.
When the man in the air heard this, he immediately put on a smile. “From your pure accents, you should be from the Blue Planet, right? This is fate.”
With that, he cupped his hands at Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya.
“How should I address you, sir?”
Lin Chen cupped his hands in return and asked about the other party’s background.
In fact, he had never known why the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom could tell that he was from the Blue Planet. After all, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom was a country of humans. Although some people had different skin color and hair color, it should not be so easy to distinguish them.
Now, Lin Chen had some confidence.
They should have differentiated their identities by their accent and clothes.
Moreover, it was not that the accent of the Blue Planet people was not good. On the contrary, it was the purest common language on the Blue Planet: Chinese!
It was also the historical language of the Dragon Kingdom.
“My name is Winter.”
The man smiled at Lin Chen and said, “This time, we plan to go to Sea Conqueror Province to do business. I heard that there’s a Blue Planet city there. Our Chengfa Trading Company is planning to interact with you… Do you know Sky Moon City?”
“I know it!” Ling Xiaoya said.
Lin Chen hurriedly stopped her from continuing and rushed to say, “We’re just about to join the Sky Moon City Lord.”
“His name is Lin Chen, right?”
Winter looked very happy as he extended an invitation to the two of them. “Then we can set off together. You might not know about Sky Moon City, but I know some things related to them. We can communicate along the way.”
Lin Chen did not refuse.
Although this Winter was dressed like a merchant from the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, he did not look weak. He was at least a First Rank expert because Lin Chen could not see through his strength. However, from Winter’s behavior, he did not seem to have any ill intentions towards the people of the Blue Planet.
Originally, Lin Chen was still on guard. After all, he had to be wary of others.
However, when he heard that Winter planned to do business with Sky Moon City, he believed him.
After all, a merchant’s way of thinking was to earn money.
They probably wouldn’t look down on the people of the Blue Planet. As long as there was money to be earned, even if you weren’t human, they would still treat you as their boss.
Lin Chen agreed to Winter’s request and brought Ling Xiaoya into Winter’s car.
However, before getting into the car, Lin Chen specially asked Ling Xiaoya to follow him and enter a possession state with the three pets.
In that case, there should be unexpected situations at any time.
Winter’s car was huge.
Moreover, it was very luxurious.
There was even a tea table in the car.
Winter invited Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya to take a seat, and then a maid came to make tea.
It was obvious that this kind of life was enjoyed by rich people.
While drinking tea, Winter was also chatting with Lin Chen. “Don’t worry, I, Winter, am a businessman. Other than earning money, I’m not interested in anything else. I’m from the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. The reason why I want to go to Sky Moon City to do business is because… I heard some rumors from the higher-ups.”
“Oh?”
Lin Chen asked, “By higher-ups, are you referring to the King of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom?”
“Hehe, there’s no need to explain this too clearly.”
Winter did not say everything. He was still quite cautious in this aspect. He said happily, “In short, the higher-ups have already ordered to accept Sky Moon City and acknowledge its existence. This means that the residents of Sky Moon City will also obtain the status of citizens of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. Of course, I’m not sure what administrative power the king will give Sky Moon City. However, the only thing I know is that such a large city and so many people will definitely have autonomy in business. It’s equivalent to saying that this is a market with hundreds of thousands of people!”
In Winter’s opinion, Sky Moon City was an undeveloped commercial treasure land.
No wonder he had to go to Sky Moon City from the Imperial Capital.
Moreover, he had gone personally.
“From your tone, you seem to be looking forward to this trip to Sky Moon City.” Lin Chen began to probe.
Could it be that Winter was so happy that he thought that as the Sky Moon City Lord, Lin Chen would definitely agree to do business with him?
At this moment, Winter smiled. “Actually, I don’t have much confidence in obtaining the friendship of the Blue Planet people, but I have to give it a try… By the way, aren’t the two of you going to Sky Moon City too? Hehe, we’ll take care of each other along the way. When we reach Sky Moon City, I hope the two of you can put in a good word for me to your city lord.”
“That’s easy.”
Lin Chen agreed.
Winter was overjoyed to hear this and immediately clapped his hands.
Soon, a maid came in with a plate of gold coins.
“It’s just a little something. It’s a form of respect. Haha…”
Winter smiled and placed the gold coins in front of Lin Chen and Ling Xiaoya.
“Thank you, Mr. Winter! To be honest, you’re the most generous Dragon Spirit Kingdom citizen we’ve ever seen to the people of the Blue Planet.” Lin Chen smiled and asked Ling Xiaoya to put away the gold.
Ling Xiaoya whispered in Lin Chen’s ear, “Wow, they’re all 10,000 gold coins each. There’s probably more than a million gold coins here!”
Lin Chen remained expressionless when he heard this.
However, his mind became active.
This Winter really knew how to conduct himself.
Moreover, it could be seen that he was an extremely pure businessman.
He really wanted to enter the market of Sky Moon City.
What about Lin Chen?
Indeed, he also needed to interact with the outside world.
Still…
From Winter’s performance, Lin Chen felt that he could not agree to him easily.
“When I go back, I have to extort him first, but I can’t be too ruthless…”
Lin Chen thought to himself.
The convoy quickly entered the Sea Conqueror Province.
Along the way, Lin Chen saw many monster nests, but strangely, these monsters rarely approached the official road. This further confirmed Lin Chen’s guess… He had always suspected that these monsters that wreaked havoc on the Blue Planet were actually beasts raised by these invaders.
These invaders called them demon beasts.
Back then, Gold Spear almost started a war with the Sea Demons because a Sea
Demon crossed the line and ate a demon beast from the Dragon Spirit Kingdom!
From Gold Spear’s reaction at that time, it seemed that the demon beast belonged to the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.
The Sea Demon Clan had broken the rules!
That was why Gold Spear was so angry.
After driving for more than a thousand miles along the official road, they saw a huge city.
This city was indeed huge!
The city wall alone was hundreds of meters tall.
It was two to three times higher than Sky Moon City.
Lin Chen recognized it at a glance!
This was because in New World, this city was one of the ten main cities of the human race in the game, Fallen Leaves City.
From afar, he could see a huge tree in the city. It was a thousand meters tall and stood in the center of the city. This tree was known as a ten-thousand-year-old green tree. It was said to have existed for more than ten thousand years. Its branches and leaves had already spread out to cover the entire Fallen Leaves City.
Because the city was often filled with io,ooo-year-old fallen leaves, and these fallen leaves could be used to make medicine, this city was named ‘Fallen Leaves City’.
And now, one of the ten main cities of the human race in the game, Fallen Leaves City, had become the provincial city of Sea Conqueror Province Province.
This made Lin Chen wonder if the Dragon Spirit Kingdom was the only human kingdom among all the invaders that had invaded the Blue Planet.
After all, the entire world of the Blue Planet was actually formed by the background of the New World online game. It was inextricably linked, and there were only ten main cities for humans in the game.
Now, there was one in the Sea Conqueror Province.
There were more than ten provinces in the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom!
Seeing that Lin Chen had been looking at Fallen Leaves City, Winter smiled and said, “Little brother, do you want to go to Fallen Leaves City? If you’re not in a hurry, I’m not either.”
“No thanks.”
Lin Chen shook his head.
It was not convenient for him to go to Fallen Leaves City now.
If he went, his identity might be exposed.
“Alright, then we’ll go straight to Sky Moon City.”
As Winter spoke, he took out the map.
This was the first time Lin Chen had seen the entire map of the Sea Conqueror Province.
To Lin Chen’s surprise, the layout was almost identical to the one around Fallen Leaves City in the game!
The only difference was that there was now an additional Sky Moon City. It was located 3,000 miles northeast of Fallen Leaves City.
In this way, a map of the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom was instantly born in Lin Chen’s mind…
In that case, the river that ran through the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom was further north from Sky Moon City.
Next was North Sea Province.
The North Sea Province was not long. It was only 1,500 miles. Beyond that was the Silver Dragon Fortress.
Lin Chen remembered that the Silver Dragon Fortress was very close to Ice Snow City!
Then, was there a way to connect Sky Moon City and Ice Snow City?
